Imet-4 support?

[albertus62]

It would be nice if you can add Imet-4 sondes like the sondes launched from Beauvechain (B) to your plugin. Normally I use Mysondy to receive a sonde near the landing spot but Mysondy can not support Imet.

I think I got the decoding pretty much down, but there's very few recordings of Imet radiosondes available online, and none that I could find in IQ format. Not a big deal since the protocol is well documented, but I'm not sure that the bandwidth I chose is correct.

Do you mind testing the new decoder? You can find pre-compiled binaries for the latest nightly here, and the source code in the dev branch. You can also send me a baseband recording if that's easier for you (any bandwidth is fine)

Dear Davide, Thanks for your reaction and the effort to add imet-4 to your plugin. I have asked my radiosonde friends here in the Netherlands and Belgium to help me test the software when Beauvechain is sending imet-4 sondes and eventually send you the baseband recordings. When I install your plugin under windows10, i get the following error: [image: image.png] Looking forward to your reaction.

Error:

Link for baseband file.

Happysat (www.happysat.nl) is telling me the tuning frequency step is 5khz. It would be nice when it is 1 khz.

Great plugin. Compiled V0.8 RC6 (along with a recent dev version of SDR++) on Raspberry PI OS and I can confirm that the IMET-4 decoding is functional after successfully tracking two radiosondes launched from Beauvechain, Belgium.

[Correction: latest decoder dll works fine on Windows too, provided that it is used in combination with a recent nightly build of SDR++ (v1.0.6). Latest stable release of SDR++ (v1.0.4) throws an "Error: The procedure entry points args could not be located in the dynamic library"]

This morning I could find the imet4 from Beauvechain.

Thanks for all the work!

Still one question: How can I plot the gps coordinates on a map during the flight?

It is no longer available. Could you make it available again? Thanks !

@albertus62 have you find a linux software that show and update automatically the map from the gpx file?
